The Pakta Mintalay Association was formed in 24 September 2010 to support and to participate from the equitable food and handmade products merchandising from small scale producers from the countryside and from the slums in Ecuador.

Pakta Mintalay, that in Quechua means “equitable commerce”, markets preferably organic certificate products: raw cane sugar, mushrooms, cocoa, coffee, quinoa… this market is done following the Fairtrade guidelines, achieving that the impact caused by the merchandising is reflected in the life conditions from the families that participate in the productive chain, and the strengthening of the organization, having as a base the rules from the equitable trade.
